I´d love to know, too, because I was working in Barcelona for a couple of days but had to go back the day it started.

Can´t always win ;o)

In October I´ll be there for the LEM Festival, anyway!

sonar highlights

these years sonar highlights to me were

villalobos presented an new, highly mainstreamed

Loved it all!

A guy called Mugison on Matt Herbert's Accidental label was particularly interesting.

He'd also play riffs with his guitar and accasionally loop those up too.

I can only assume he was using Ableton.

Apart from that, highlights were: Four Tet, Jeff Mills, Miss Kittin (who was surprisingly good and un-electroclash-ey), Francois K...
